Ontario accepting Ontario Place redevelopment proposals

The Ontario government is taking submissions from individuals and companies worldwide who want to redevelop Ontario Place, once a hub of family fun and activity on the city’s lake shore.

Infrastructure Ontario (IO) is working with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (MTCS) on the future redevelopment of Ontario Place.

“Our government for the people believes in and supports the innovation of the private sector and we’re going to search worldwide for the most innovative ideas out there,” Ontario Tourism Minister Michael Tibollo said in a statement.

The government won’t consider proposals for any residential uses, proposals that require operating grants or capital investments for planning, design or construction from the province, or any land sale.

An expression of interest process will launch this spring, seeking development concepts from private sector partners.
